Greetings From the Old World

Lyrics

Greetings from the Old World What isn't dead sends you its wishes A ghost of what we once were Europe greets you with kisses Here where it all started Former heart of knowledge and wisdom Always room for the heavy hearted And a better security system Greetings from the Old World Across the sea, if you still remember We always do, here in the Old World As soon I've heard that love is a memory The story goes you're still alive Spreading your seed somewhere else The saints wake up and sing with pride And all the churches ring their bells They all agree you were the one We all agree you were the best All dusty statues in the sun Now raise their heads and face the west [Interlude] And I want you like I used to And I thought I'd write you a letter Greetings from the Old World Where things can only get better
